Abstract
![CDATA[The primary focus of this study is to present a frame shape which will improve building performance in earthquake excitations. The investigation started with 3-story frame. The proposed Rhombus Shape is introduced to compare with the Rectangular Shape frame, keeping the height-to-width ratio and the loading same. The performance of the proposed Rhombus Shape Frame is compared with the popular Rectangular Moment Resisting Frame for different earthquake records. The seismic performance of the frame is evaluated based on the inter-story drift. This study report, that even with significant amount of member reduction, the proposed frame shape exhibits higher lateral stiffness than the equivalent rectangular moment resisting frame.]]
